What People Are Saying
Hear from facilities, families, and performers about the transformative impact of Melodies and Memories.
From Facilities
"Our residents light up when Melodies and Memories performers arrive. The therapeutic impact is remarkable—we see residents who rarely speak suddenly singing along to songs from their youth. This program has become an essential part of our community."
Margaret Thompson
Activities Director
Sunrise Senior Living
"From a clinical perspective, the benefits are clear. We've observed reduced agitation in dementia patients during and after performances, improved mood across the board, and enhanced social interaction. This is evidence-based therapeutic intervention."
Dr. James Rodriguez
Medical Director
Golden Years Care Center
"Booking is seamless, performers are always punctual and professional, and the quality is consistently excellent. Our families specifically mention the music program when touring our facility. It's become a competitive advantage for us."

From Family Members
"My mother has advanced dementia and often doesn't recognize me. But during one of these performances, she sang every word to "Unchained Melody." It was the first time I'd seen her smile in months. Thank you for giving us that precious moment."
Robert Martinez
Son of Resident
"Dad talks about the music shows all week. He'll suddenly start humming "In the Mood" or tell me about the performer who reminded him of his first dance with Mom. It's given him something to look forward to and share with us."
Carol Washington
Daughter of Resident
"I visited Grandma during one of the performances and was blown away. She was clapping, singing, and laughing—I haven't seen her that engaged in years. The performer made everyone feel included and valued. Beautiful experience."
Michael Chen
Grandson of Resident
From Performers
"This is the most rewarding work I've ever done. Seeing seniors tap their feet, clap along, and share stories about their first dance or their wedding song reminds me why music matters. The training and support from WHOOPE Entertainment makes every show professional and meaningful."
Sarah Chen
Performer
2 years with Melodies and Memories
"I was skeptical at first about using backing tracks, but the professionalism of the system won me over. The Performer's Playbook is brilliant—it gives structure while allowing personality to shine. The residents don't care about the format; they care about the connection."
David Williams
Performer

"The compensation is fair, the schedule is flexible, and the impact is profound. Last week, a woman told me I sounded just like her late husband when I sang "Moon River." She cried—happy tears. That moment alone made everything worthwhile."
